Swifts boss Alan Dornan said: "I'm incredibly proud of the boys. Their second-half performance was incredible. It would have been easy to give up at 2-0 considering their youth, but they showed great resilience as well as ability."

The Swifts will meet Dundela in the Christmas Eve final - a rerun of the 1997 decider, which the Blues won 1-0 thanks to an Andy McLean goal.
